I am thinking about sending my dv1000 back to Costco to have my laptop reconfigured for broadcom wireless card. I only had my laptop for 4 weeks and I have been having connections problems with the intel 2200bg card. It does not seem to work properly with WPA and I am using the latest drivers from Intel and with intel pro wireless software. It keeps saying "aquring an address". Proset is able tp detect my network, but cannot connect. Hp will not support anything higher then WEP on the 2200bg card. They require a fee for total solution help if you have a problem using WPA with the intel nic. That is BS!!
I have research all over the web and other forums and their seems to be a problems with the 2200bg card. Some people have it working fine and others don't.
What do you guys think?

the problem of never getting an address is a problem with your setup; either at the card or the router.
the "problems" that people are having with the 2200bg are usually about speed issues or dropped connections. that's different than never getting an address.
i would double-check your settings at the card and router and also your firewall settings.
for the record; i have the 2200bg and have no problems. i regularly connect to a netgear b router, a netgear b/g router, and a trendnet g router. i've never had any problems with any of them. -
What do you think? -
ah, i should have read your original post more closely. well, it sounds like a pretty specific issue to your setup. have you tried looking for any white papers on hp's site?
